A special thank you goes to our family liaison, Solangie McPherson, for her incredible work coordinating this event. We are also grateful to the Coates PTA for their support in providing supplies, and to Open Door Church and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church for generously providing tables to help make the evening a success.
Thank you to our dedicated staff for volunteering their time, and to the student volunteers from Carson Middle School and Westfield High School for their support throughout the event.
We appreciate everyone who helped make this celebration such a memorable experience for our school community!

There will be no school for students on Tuesday, April 21, for the Virginia statewide election. Student activities, athletic practices, and events may proceed as scheduled.
FCPS will offer lunch and a snack at no cost to children aged 18 and under on April 21 at participating schools. The meals must be eaten on site. For more information, visit the FCPS Food and Nutrition Services webpage.
Students will now have a traditional full day of instruction and be released at the regular dismissal time on April 22 and April 29, which were previously early release Wednesdays for elementary schools.
This adjustment allows our staff to still have dedicated time for planning, collaboration, and professional learning without reducing instructional time on other school days.
